Trending News: You Won't Believe How Many People Check Their Phone During Sex

Why Is This Important?

Long Story Short

Phone sex is one thing. Using your phone during sex is another. And yet, an astounding number of people think it's totally cool to pull out their smartphone and see what's happenin' online while they're in the middle of getting it on. Really.

Long Story

What is happening? How is it that it's becoming acceptable to be in the middle of sex and invite a third party into the action: your phone?

According to a shocking new survey from SureCell (a company that makes cell signal boosters), which the company aptly dubbed The Attachment Problem: Cellphone Use In America, a whopping 10 percent of people (that's 1 in every 10 adults over the age of 18) admitted to actually checking their phone DURING a love session.

After surveying 1,137 individuals in the US, SureCell found that 69 percent use their phone while on the toilet (fine), 22 percent give it a glance in the shower (fine... but how?!) and 10 percent have no qualms about scrollin' through various feeds while they're between the sheets (definitely not fine).

What's more, SureCell also discovered that, of those who did admit to using their phone in the bedroom, 43 percent were repeat offenders, having done so anywhere between two and 10 times in the past year alone. Less surprisingly, those in the 18-34 age group were almost twice as likely to check their phones than those in the 35-51 age group.

And that's just the people who ADMITTED their bad behavior. The real stats may be higher, but even if the number really is "just" 10 percent, that's way too high. Anything over 0 is way too high. If there's one time when taking a break from social media should be easy (and enjoyable), it's when you're getting frisky. Come on, y'all, we can do better.
